### Calling Sequence

  `xs2gif(win_num,filen,[color])`

### Parameters

- `win_num`: integer scalar or vector .
- `filen`: string, file name.
- `color`: optional integer. 0 means black and white and 1 means color. The default value is to use a value compatible with the screen status.

### Description

`xs2gif` sends the recorded graphics of the window `win_num` in the file `filen` in GIF format. This function works only if the selected driver is `"Rec"` in the window `win_num` or if the window is in "new style".

To convert a sequence of "GIF" files to an animated GIF file one can use the "convert" program for ImageMagic (http://www.imagemagick.org/)

For example if one has generated a sequence of Gif files named `img*.gif` it is possible to build an animated Gif file (named anim.gif) by

        convert -delay 10  img*.gif anim.gif

### Examples

        scf(0)
        plot2d()
        xs2gif(0,'foo.gif')
